MegaPath Adds 300,000th SSL VPN User

Company's Fully-Managed SSL VPN Service Enables Businesses to Easily and
Securely Connect Telecommuters and Remote Sites
COSTA MESA, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
MegaPath Inc., the leading provider of managed IP data, voice, and security
services in North America, announced today that in Q1 2009 its Managed SSL VPN
services hit the milestones of 300,000 users, more than 3.5 billion sessions and
100 terabytes (TBs) of data transferred per month. The Company has added more
than 50,000 users since Q3 2008, as businesses increasingly rely on secure and
consistent connectivity options to provide employees, customers and suppliers
access to critical applications anytime from anywhere.

According to a recent report from Forrester Research, more than 34 million US
adults telecommute at least occasionally and it is estimated that US
telecommuting ranks will be 63 million by 2016. Increased broadband adoption,
better collaboration tools, and growing management experience are all
contributing to this growth.

"There is a fundamental shift on how and where people work. Employees can now do
business anywhere that has an Internet connection, but the key is to ensure that
these connections are secure and reliable," said Beth Tyebjee, SVP of Marketing
at MegaPath. "MegaPath's fully-managed SSL VPN service does just that. As
businesses move to create flexible workforces, MegaPath is helping them attain
business goals without worrying about the infrastructure or security."

MegaPath's Managed SSL VPN services give businesses the flexibility and
portability of the Internet, while providing secure access for any approved
remote user, from both IT-managed and non-managed devices including Windows PCs,
MACs, PDAs and Linux devices. These services complement MegaPath's Remote Access
and Site-to-Site MPLS VPN services, so telecommuters, road warriors, branch
office employees, business partners, retail stores, restaurants and franchise
owners can access applications from anywhere without compromising network
security.

MegaPath offers two types of SSL VPN services and a Business Continuity SSL
option:

* Corporate Access SSL: Allows employees and partners to access corporate
information and applications - email, accounting, sales and inventory systems -
over the Internet. Rapid License Control is also available for Corporate Access
customers.

* Business Continuity SSL: Enables employees to access enterprise applications
from any Internet-connected PC in the event of a manmade or natural disaster.
This service also features MegaPath's optional Rapid License Control capability
that enables users to add increased user licenses to their VPN and Internet
connections in real-time, so they can easily and seamlessly support increases in
usage requirements. This service addresses situations where the primary data
center is still operational, but a business requires additional capacity due to
a temporary spike in remote users because of an event that keep employees
offsite.

* Retail Site SSL: Enables a retail owner or franchisee to access systems
located in their stores and restaurants such as Point-of-Sale applications.

MegaPath delivers strong authentication and helps ensure organizations receive
the highest levels of security to meet even the most stringent regulations and
compliance guidelines, including PCI. MegaPath SSL services reduce the cost and
complexity of remote access, while also eliminating the security issues created
by previous generation solutions.
